Love is

Love is a feeling
an intangible force
the reason for everything
that makes you better and worse..
Love keeps you going
like the wind for your sail
the fuel for your engine
the coal for your train..
When in love you realize
everything just makes sense
you're in control of your life
and it justifies your existence..
But love is also treacherous
it can take more than what it gives
it can cause any one of us
misery,pain and grief..
Love can be a dagger
a thorn on your side
it can make you bleed a river
drive you crazy and wild..
Love is a complication
a bitter pill, sweet poison
but after all that's said and done,
love is... a welcome burden.
